700 g Green asparagus, trimmed

2 tsp Olive oil

1-inch Ginger root, peeled and sliced

Salt and pepper

2x150 g Salmon steak

Preheat oven to 200C/400F. Line a baking tray with foil or baking paper. Brush the fish with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss the trimmed asparagus with the rest of olive oil and ginger slices. Season with salt and pepper.

Place salmon and asparagus on the prepared baking tray and roast in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the the salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork and the asparagus is tender.
Divide asparagus and fish between two serving plates. Garnish, if desired, with fresh herbs and preserved green peppercorns and serve immediately!

What I like about this recipe is that you allow the salmon to stand alone with just a minimal amount seasoning. The ginger is a nice selection as it really holds up well to salmon without over powering.
